Former US President Joe Biden has passed an order granting clemency to his entire family in the last moments of his tenure.

Behind this pardon, Joe Biden issued a statement saying that "There are continuous attacks and threats being made against my family, whose only aim is to hurt me. This is the worst kind of politics. Unfortunately, I don’t think these attacks will stop, I believe in the law and hope that our justice system will rise above politics and give the right decision but a political investigation without any basis will put people’s lives, safety and economic condition at risk. Destroys. Even if someone has done nothing wrong and is later proven innocent, an investigation or trial can only harm their name and money."
Given amnesty to 5 members of his family
Joe Biden said that for this reason, using his constitutional power, he has given amnesty to these 5 members of his family. However, Joe Biden also claimed that this pardon has not been given because these 5 members have done anything wrong or have committed any crime.
